Q.Here’s the English translation of your math problem: In triangle \( \triangle ABC \), \( \angle ABC = 90^\circ \), \( BC = 24 \) cm, and \( E \) is the midpoint of \( AC \). If \( ED \perp BC \), then what is the length of \( BD \)? (a) 6 cm (b) 8 cm (c) 9 cm (d) None of the above
Answer: D
In triangle \( \triangle ABC \), \( ED \parallel AB \) [since both are perpendicular to BC], and \( E \) is the midpoint of \( AC \). \(\therefore\) \( D \) is the midpoint of \( BC \). \(\therefore\) \( BD = \frac{1}{2} \times BC = 12 \) cm.
